[Greencoachdog]

The Moon will be at it's closest to earth tonight for the year, and should make for some good viewing and photo opportunities!

I hope not!

 

 

... but it's happened before.

When I saw the title, and then the author, I thought this can't be good......Thankfully you kept ur pants on.

This was intersting though :

"Try this trick, though: Using a pencil eraser or similar object held at arm's length, gauge the size of the moon when it's near the horizon and again later when it's higher up and seems smaller. You'll see that when compared to a fixed object, the moon will be the same size in both cases."

Now it decides to snow!

May make viewing difficult.

I work in a long term care facility, and I can tell you that the residents here go wild when there is a full moon, that is not a fable.

Another astronomical treat that could be seen tonight and for the next two nights is the annual Geminid meteor shower, one of the year’s best displays of shooting stars. Up to 100 meteors an hour can fly across the sky. The meteors, which are easy to spot with the naked eye, appear to shoot out from the constellation Gemini, hence their name, but they can be seen all over the sky. However, with a full moon so bright, the best place to look is away from the Moon.

 

Meteor showers happen when the Earth passes through clouds of debris shed from comets. As the tiny fragments smash into the Earth’s upper atmosphere at about 100,000mph, they burn up in streaks of light.

 

For reasons that are not understood, the Geminid meteor showers are tending to grow stronger each year.

Go get em Lew!!! ...wish it wasn't so far of a drive for me or I'd be joining you lads!!!

 

Have fun, be safe in that cold water, and looking forward to a great report!!
